3	American Chemical Society (ACS) Congressional Fellowship	The ACS Congressional Fellowship Program places two fellows each year as staff members in the office of a Senator, Representative, or Committee. As part of a broader effort administered by AAAS that places more than 30 scientists per year in Congress, the program has two main goals: to provide policy-makers with high quality information on science-related issues and to educate scientists on how government works and how science policy is made. Fellows work on the Congressional staff of their choice; placement support is provided by ACS and AAAS. Fellows typically serve as legislative assistants, advising on a range of science policy issues and interacting with constituents	https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/policy/policyfellowships.html	12 months	DC
4	California Council on Science & Technology (CCST) Science Fellowship	CCST Science Fellows work alongside decision makers to evaluate complex scientific issues, interpret data, while tackling the responsibilities of full-time staffers. These talented individuals gain valuable experience and training in public service. In turn, state decision makers are given access to science-savvy staff members, helping them to craft fact-based policies.	https://ccst.us/ccst-science-fellows-program/	12 months	Sacramento, CA
5	Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Early Career Policy Ambassadors Program	Our Early Career Policy Ambassadors (ECPA) Program is a 10-month program that allows early career scientists to interact with leading neuroscience advocates and meet their policymakers. The ECPA program is designed to create an extensive network of neuroscience advocates. Ambassadors gain the necessary skills to advocate for science and to encourage those in their personal networks to join the conversation. The program kicks off at our annual Capitol Hill Day, where ambassadors engage with their members of Congress about the value of strong national investment in scientific research, including NIH and NSF. Over the course of the year, ambassadors engage in at least two additional advocacy-related activities at their home institution.	https://www.sfn.org/advocacy/us-advocacy-programs/early-career-policy-ambassadors	10 months
6	American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Science Policy Fellowship	This fellowship is designed for early-career cancer research professionals who hold an advanced degree (PhD, MD, MD/PhD) and are interested in the development and implementation of cancer research-related policies on the national level. The fellow will gain experience drafting, analyzing, and implementing policy through time spent working within the U.S. Congress, the National Cancer Institute or the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and in the AACR Office of Science Policy and Government Affairs in Washington, D.C. In addition, there may be opportunities to work at the AACR headquarters in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.	https://www.aacr.org/professionals/policy-and-advocacy/aacr-science-policy-fellowship/	24 months	Philadelphia/DC
7	Genetics & Public Policy Fellowship (ASHG and the National Human Genome Research Institute )	This is a fellowship program designed for genetics professionals with an advanced degree who are early in their careers and interested in the development and implementation of genetics-related health and research policies at a national level. The fellowship provides experiences working: (1) in the National Institutes of Health within the Executive Branch, (2) in a staff position on Capitol Hill serving elected officials in the Legislative Branch, (3) with ASHG in the non-profit science advocacy sector	https://www.ashg.org/careers-learning/fellowships/policy/	16 months	DC
8	American Institute of Physics Congressional Fellowship Program	The American Institute of Physics sponsors two scientists annually to spend a year providing analytical expertise and scientific advice to Congress. This enables scientists to broaden their experience through direct involvement with the legislative and policy processes. Fellows gain a perspective which, ideally, will enhance not only their own careers but also the physics community’s ability to more effectively communicate with its representatives in Congress.Fellowships are for one year, usually running September through August. The Fellowship term begins with a required two-week orientation in Washington for all Science and Technology Policy Fellows, organized by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Following the orientation, Congressional fellows interview with Congressional and committee offices to find a placement where they wish to serve. During their term, Fellows are expected to work full-time at their Fellowship assignment.	https://www.aip.org/policy/fellowships/congressional	12 months	DC
9	BPS Congressional Science & Technology Policy Fellowship Program	The BPS Congressional Science & Technology Policy Fellowship Program provides an invaluable and unique opportunity for BPS members to gain practical experience and insights into public policy by working on Capitol Hill. The fellowship program sponsors one fellow annually to serve as a staff member in a Senate, House of Representatives, or Committee office. The fellowship is an ideal way to spend an academic sabbatical or leave of absence from a company. Fellows are also expected to attend a two-week orientation, conducted by the AAAS, in September of each year.	https://www.biophysics.org/policy-advocacy/congressional-fellowship		DC
10	The Christine Mirzayan Science and Technology Policy Graduate Fellowship Program	The Christine Mirzayan Science and Technology Policy Graduate Fellowship Program is a full-time hands-on training and educational program that provides early career individuals with the opportunity to spend 12 weeks at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in Washington, DC learning about science and technology policy and the role that scientists and engineers play in advising the nation. This Mirzayan Fellowship offers a unique opportunity to obtain the essential skills and knowledge needed to work in science policy at the federal, state, or local levels.	https://mirzayanfellow.nas.edu/Default.asp	12 weeks	DC
11	Breakthrough Institute Generation Fellows Program	Every summer from June to August, Generation offers a small number of paid, highly competitive, ten-week fellowships to recent college graduates and postgraduates from around the world. The first two weeks are dedicated to Breakthrough Bootcamp, an intellectual crash course involving intensive reading, writing, and an expert lecture series designed to provide a grounding in the broad-spectrum thinking that informs Breakthrough's policy agenda. For the remainder of the fellowship, fellows work in small teams divided between three program areas: Energy, Cities, or Food & Farming.	https://thebreakthrough.org/fellowships/generation-fellowship	10 weeks	CA
12	Missouri Science & Technology Policy Initiative Fellowship	MOST policy fellows will provide much needed resources for Missouri General Assembly. Fellows will assist in scientific, rather than legal, research before bills are written, and also help to inform senators and representatives on benefits and consequences of pending statutes and regulations. Outside of the short legislative session, fellows will assist with building evidence-based research capacity and training workshops for legislators and staff	https://mostpolicyinitiative.org/fellows/	12 months	Missouri
13	New Jersey Science and Politics Fellowship	During the one-year program, Science Fellows participate in the political process and support New Jersey state government officials in making evidence-based decisions in public policy areas involving science, engineering, and technology. Through this work, they develop an understanding of state government and learn how to build careers in public service.	https://eagleton.rutgers.edu/program/eagleton-science-and-politics-initiative/	12 months	NJ
